Chapter 170: Some Things Have to Be Proactive
Although Qin Feng didn't want to admit it, after a national war, tens of millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver at every turn, this practical problem could not be avoided, so he could only face it calmly.
Even Emperor Liang, who was the king of a country, couldn't help but be silent when he heard this astronomical amount.
It is undeniable that if this money is used to improve people's livelihood, it will be enough to benefit the people of the world.
But if it is used to start a war, it is unknown what the result of this money will be burned.
With the known and unknown, this responsibility is so great that even Emperor Liang has to keep his mouth shut, and he does not dare to judge rashly, otherwise if he is careless, not only will his reputation be ruined, but he will also have no face to see his ancestors and ancestors in the future.
The lords and faction officials present all showed joy on their faces, and no one expected that Qin Feng, who was in the limelight, would actually lift a stone and drop it on his own feet.
But all reasonable people should make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses at this time, and avoid talking about military spending as much as possible, Qin Feng is immature after all!
Cheng Yin stood proudly, his eyebrows were already full of freedom and ease, and he said lightly: "The migration of sugarcane farmers is only a million taels, and it takes tens of millions of taels of silver to launch the Beidi War." Even the peddlers and pawns know the pros and cons of gains and losses, should this war be fought or not, and do we need to continue to argue?"
The main battle faction was instantly depressed, although everyone hoped to attack Beidi in their hearts, but the sky-high military expenditure was a real problem that had to be faced.
Qin Tianhu sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't blame Qin Feng, after all, this kind of thing was definitely not something that Qin Feng could control.
Even though he has read countless people, Emperor Liang, who has been figuring out the "art of controlling people" all his life, can't help but be confused at this time. It is not difficult to guess the thoughts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the important ministers and Confucians, but they can't figure out what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of this Qin Feng child. g
Could it be that after a long speech, it was just to remind everyone of the dangerous problems that Beidi had to face in the war? Why did Qin Feng have to do this more, even if it was a mud leg, he knew that fighting a war requires burning money.
Emperor Liang thought about it, but he really couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped being entangled, and asked bluntly: "Qin Feng, you can directly state whether this battle will be fought or not!"
At this time, no one cared about Qin Feng's opinion, and even the officials of the main battle faction lowered their heads one after another, sighing for a long time, thinking that there was no room for maneuver in this war.
In the huge Taihe Palace, there are only two people's eyes, focusing on Qin Feng, one is Emperor Liang, and the other is Qin Tianhu.
Qin Feng, who has always been able to speak well, scratched his head this time and did not reply for a long time.
In the eyes of everyone, this is undoubtedly a manifestation of weakness, and the Confucian students couldn't help but look full of contempt, feeling that Qin Feng was already poor in donkey skills and couldn't make any waves.
Cheng Yin is in a good mood, as long as he can stop the Beidi War, the position of the literati leader will be unshakable, not only can he leave his name in history, but in the future, the "Cheng family" will also gain a pivotal position in Daliang and benefit his descendants.
Cheng Yin didn't delay any longer, arched his hand, and was about to finalize the matter with one blow, but he heard an instigating voice sounding beside him.
"Then ...... "Qin Feng lowered his head and shrunk his neck, putting on a timid and fearful posture.
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar instantly, not to mention Confucianism, even some officials couldn't care about the majesty of the hall, their faces were full of anger, and they all shouted accusations at Qin Feng.
"Qin Feng! Do you know what kind of impact your fluttering words will have on the beams?!"
